RUUKO vs. AKIRA

And that was episode 6! The fated battle!

In episode 6, Akira and Ruuko had their fated (?) battle.
Piruluk's Art "Peeping Analyze" not only discards every SIGNI of the level guessed, but also has the fearsome ability to see into the opponent's wish. How will Ruuko stand against it?!

Akira vs Ruuko

>"Is Tama allowed to fight...?" Tama hesitantly asks

Ruuko goes second.
Ruuko's first turn. This is the board layout. Ruuko summons SIGNI and uses repeated attacks to shave away her Life Cloth.

The reasoning behind Ruuko's frontal assault is...?

>"What the... wasn't she supposed to be a beginner at Wixoss?!" Akira frustratedly says.

Ruuko's frontal attack pushed Akira back.
She used "TOO BAD" immediately to make her discard, but it had little effect on the White deck and its searching capabilities.

The board layout is now like this. At the end of Ruuko's third turn she had 4 Life Cloth left, and Akira 3. It appears to be a normal progression at first glance, but Ruuko put a certain card in her deck as a countermeasure against Akira. Do you know what it is?

>Akira uses Peeping Analyze!

>"RuuRuu, you've been using a frontal assualt for a while now... and I know what that means. The level of most cards in your hand right now is... level 4!"

Unfortunately, this Peeping Analyze completely missed.
In truth, she only made it look like she was using a frontal assault, /but Ruuko had not a single level 4 SIGNI in her entire deck./
In preperation for Akira's Peeping Analyze, Ruuko had only up to level 3 SIGNI in her deck. What a schemer!

>Ruuko without a wish. And her trump card, "Arch Aura"!

>"...Because I have no wish, I'm not scared of anything!"

Akira tries to criticize Ruuko because of her lack of a wish, but Ruuko brushes it off. She then uses her trump card Arch Aura.

Tama on the attack. Her eyes look ready for battle. How cool!

The board layout is now like this.
She uses Arch Aura with 3 SIGNI. By trashing SIGNI from the board, she can Up her LRIG.
This time, Tama was able to attack four times and win. Perhaps it was Akira's conceit that prevented her from putting Anti-Spell in her LRIG deck...
But even if she did, a reversal and comeback would've still been difficult...

>Introducing some Black cards!

This week we'll be introducing a SIGNI and Arts from the new deck releasing 6/12, Black Desire.

>Moment Punish
>Main Phase
>Until the end of your turn, make one opposing SIGNI -7000 Power (If the Power becomes 0 or below, it is Banished)
>No, it can't be!

The first Arts is Moment Punish
You can make one opposing SIGNI lose 7000 Power.
If it becomes 0 or below, it is banished, so you can use it against SIGNI with 7000 or less power to banish them.

>Corruption Gunner Kyari
>Continuous: If you have at least 10 cards in your trash, this SIGNI gains 5000 Power.
>Burst: Draw one card

The second card is Corruption Gunner Kyari.
As long as you have at least 10 cards in your trash, it gets 5000 Power.
The more cards in your Trash, the stronger the Black deck becomes.

The Black deck is based on powering down the opponent's cards and referencing the Trash. You need to keep a close watch on your Trash, so you need to use a bit more technique in your play, but if you can master it this becomes a very strong deck.

Be sure to keep a close eye on Iona in the anime as she uses this deck.

Iona softly calls Akira a sore loser. It seems there is a deep darkness within her...

The new Black deck is about to make appearances in both the anime and real life.
Keep an eye on both of them. Well then, see you next week!
